contents We consider a nonlocal approximation of the quadratic porous medium equation where the pressure is given by a convolution with a mollification kernel. It is known that when the kernel concentrates around the origin, the nonlocal equation converges to the local one. In one spatial dimension, for a particular choice of the kernel, and under mere assumptions on the initial condition, we quantify the rate of convergence in the 2-Wasserstein distance. Our proof is very simple, exploiting the so-called Evolutionary Variational Inequality for both the nonlocal and local equations as well as a priori estimates. We also present numerical simulations using the finite volume method, which suggests that the obtained rate can be improved - this will be addressed in a forthcoming work.
